Editor’s note: Jan Kabili takes a nice whack at the authors of PC World’s Photoshop CS2 review. Nice going Jan!

PC World gave Photoshop CS2 a luke-warm review in the last issue of the magazine. IMHO the reviewers’ comments focus on trivial points and in some cases are just plain wrong.

After years of fielding questions at seminars from Photoshop users, Dave Cross realized there was a lot of common ground: there were many questions that were indeed “frequently asked.” In addition, most questions seemed to start with “How come I can’t….” “How do I….” or “Why won’t the (fill in the blank) tool work?”

This book addresses the most common problems and questions in Photoshop by both providing answers to the most frequently asked questions, and outlining strategies that can help you avoid problems in the first place.
